55-year-old Alonzo Sansbury was arrested after IMPD used license plate reading technology to track him down from the robbery of a Dollar Tree and Big Lots on the north side of Indy.

According to IMPD, Sansbury robbed a Dollar Tree on N. Keystone Avenue and a Big Lots on N. Allisonville Road within 30 minutes on May 17.
